After heading to the lawless zone and a day later, I was able to learn about the true nature of the lawless zone.

“When I heard the name “Lawless Zone,” I thought it was a barbaric, unordered place, but that wasn’t the case at all.”

This was, so to speak, another society where magicians were a privileged class.

To be precise, it was a civil republic, but the first class citizen was a magician.

Initially, the name “Lawless Zone” was given by the lords and religious sects.

The name people call themselves in this lawless area is Imperial Goto.

It was a name they called themselves because they were still following the old empire.

“The old empire? Wasn’t it because of the magician that the old empire fell? Everyone was talking like that outside. It was so polarizing that I’m still shaking.”

In a village near the border, I asked a merchant, playing a magician who had run away from the kingdom of Palos.

“Why is it the magicians’ fault that the old empire collapsed? The reason the old empire collapsed was because generals, collateral royal family members, landowners, and people who worship strange idols appeared and rebelled against the imperial family like that Palos thief!”

“In the Kingdom of Palos, I heard that the empire collapsed because of the Demons?”

“Mine? What is that? ah! Those fictional beings that don’t exist, like the Demon World or the Demon King?”

What is the fiction? I fought and even killed that demon myself.

Anyway, I heard the merchant’s words and learned the truth.

Magicians’ information control.

Here, the perception of magicians was not bad, so it seemed that the magicians were not entirely responsible for the fall of the empire, but seeing as the information was distorted, the magicians themselves were probably also responsible.

Royal families like Palos, religious orders, and magicians probably each have a high stake in the fall of the old empire.

And they probably passed the blame on to each other, saying it was each other’s fault.

I continued to have a cursory conversation with the merchant and only absorbed information using Babel.

That’s how I found out.

This lawless area, or Imperial Homeland, is a fairly large force.

First of all, if you look at the size of the territory alone, it is the size of two kingdoms, and the land was not a hostage, but was treated as the core of the old empire and was a greatly developed area.

The population and land power that can correspond to the royal family and religious order located outside this imperial homeland.

The cult that was witch-hunting magicians had the power to not mess with it hastily.

However, this imperial homeland was not a single power.

Magic Round Table, Walpurgis, Autumn Palace.

These three forces kept each other in check and led the Imperial Goto.

“Where I am now is the area of the Magic Round Table.”

The merchant didn’t have much knowledge.

This organization called the Magic Round Table is a group of magicians who are said to be the best in the Imperial Goto.

It is also a place where sinister rumors are rampant, such as Walpurgis offering sacrifices or drawing blood through taxes.

The Autumn Palace was an organization that claimed to be the rightful descendant of the old empire.

“First, I should go to the nearest magic round table.”

As I walked to Khorne, the big city where the Magic Round Table was said to be located, I searched through my memories and listed information about the Magic Round Table.

Dantalian’s subordinate, Havas, uttered the word ‘magic round table’ as he guided me to the lawless area.

He said that the Magic Round Table was the territory of Decaravia, the 69th ranked demon king.

So, are other forces in Goto comparable to the Magic Round Table also part of the Demon King’s domain?

I decided to be careful, thinking that there might be a demon lord behind each of these Goto forces.

You can fight multiple demon lords if you recklessly mess with the powers or kill them if they offend you.

Even if you don’t know one-on-one, you need to be careful because it can be difficult to deal with in large numbers.

” Brainwashing the magicians of the Magic Round Table as a group would provoke the devil, and the burden on myself might also be great. In addition, it would be difficult to brainwash a class A magician, so it would be perfect to just omit the essential magical eyes and acquired vision.”

As I was thinking about how I would infiltrate the Magic Round Table, one name popped into my mind.

“Oh, now that I think about it… there was Luisi.”

To be honest, I completely forgot about it.

I checked the connection of the barbell and confirmed that Luisi was alive or dead.

Fortunately, Luisi is alive and well, and is working as a proud magician in Khorne, where I am going.

It is difficult to confirm the memories because of the distance and at the same time something is interfering with the connection in the city of Khorne, but I read that Havas helped him operate in Khorne by acting as a guarantor.

And I thought I could easily infiltrate the Magic Round Table through Luisi’s memories.

Surprisingly, it was easy to join as long as you were a magician.

“Havas… I get caught in this suspicious Dantalian’s rattle, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”

I decided to join Luisi for now.

It doesn’t matter if Luisi is a trap set by him.

Because he can’t harm me at his level.

In the first place, even if Dantalian, his superior, came down in person, it would be difficult to defeat me.

Rather, it would be beneficial for me to understand their dark intentions.

With that in mind, I headed deep into the Imperial Homeland.

The three-day walking tour continued like that.

In the process, I was able to get a glimpse into the heyday of the old empire.

A road with black tombstones that still maintains its pristine appearance.

A fountain of water that magically springs from thin air.

Lighting that emits light that helps crops grow.

And I saw a golem moving on its own and subduing monsters.

A magic imprint engraved on an elaborate steel body without any gaps.

It’s definitely something that the Magic Round Table manages on a regular basis.

Outside of the Imperial Homeland, the magic of a civilization that disappeared due to the persecution of magicians and the lack of maintenance, remains intact here.

And I scrutinized the empire’s legacy with my original magical eye to uncover the next level of magic.

Changes that occur by engraving one’s mind and will into magic.

Permanent inscription, enchantment.

This was the core and substance of the magic tool.

And this was something I was already halfway through.

It was used permanently on Earth and in the pure universe by mixing it with the true method.

Of course, what I was doing was using Jinbeop’s spiritual imprint to forcibly bind the magic.

Since it was simply removed, the actual performance is flawed.

“I finally found the right method.”

With the help of experience, I succeeded in imprinting the mind of magic at once.

The powerful magic of the Babel code of [Protection, Recognition, and Inhibition] is imprinted on my robe.

Looking at these results, I came up with an idea.

I thought I could combine this enchantment with the magic trick.

Enchantment is the act of imprinting one’s mind into magic.

Jinbeop was the act of engraving a spiritual imprint on an object.

There were similarities between both.

I thought that if I did well, I could integrate magic and magic, so I stopped moving and tried to integrate.

And a huge success on the first try.

Although magic itself belongs to the spiritual realm, its raw material, magical power itself, has in common that it is spiritual power, making it easy to achieve success.

And the result was very unexpected.

A stone tablet engraved with the Babel code of [Concentration].

The lines of the formation drawn on the stone tablet are crushed and writhing as if they are alive.

A magic formula that moves and takes shape on its own.

‘My magic comes alive with will?’

The mental imprint of the enchantment and the spiritual imprint of the true magic were harmonized and the magic came alive and began to move.

I watched the results with interest.

On the externally visible stone tablet, lines and dots move on their own, repeating combinations and collections.

The lines and dots moved violently, repeatedly writhing bizarrely as if the stone slab was uncomfortable, but they could not escape the stone slab on which they were engraved.

That’s because the original method of this thing is based on the premise of engraving on objects.

This magic formula that converged in one place and then spread repeatedly began to show its true colors to me.

Shuuuuk…

[Concentration] where stones and soil come together and converge.

This magic formation was able to cast its fundamental magic to the outside world.

And this magic exercise even included me within its scope and exercised its power.

Of course, its power was at a low level, so it couldn’t hurt me.

At best, it’s level D.

It has the power to easily kill an ordinary person.

“How do I use this… ego weapon?”

I wondered what I would use this result for.

It’s good to use magic yourself, but is it more useful than a magic tool?

It seems like there is some sort of ego there, but is there communication?

I used a barbell as a test, but it didn’t connect.

Shuuuk!

Even if I trust Babel’s interpretation and try to talk to him, the magic method becomes even more violent.

In the end, I smashed the stone tablet to quell the rampage of this magic trick.

Pakak.

And when I broke the stone tablet containing this magic formula, I got amazing results.

Recognizing that I was trying to destroy myself, this magic formula attempted a spiritual attack on me.

The power of a man who [concentrates] my soul on one point.

If it had been an ordinary person’s soul, it would have been broken.

Of course, there is no way such an attack would work on me.

But through this spiritual attack, I noticed amazing possibilities.

Perhaps because the root of it was the magic of my Babel code, its spiritual attack was similar to Babel’s spiritual attack.

“Others can also learn my Babel code if they hold on to this spiritual space.”

I figured out how to use this magic formula.

A guide to magic that lives and moves on its own.

“This magic method should be called Grimoire from now on.”

And it was at this point that I realized why fate had brought me to the Imperial Homeland.

Anyway, I can’t believe they made something like this in just one day.

Fate must have assisted.

“Solomon and Grimoire… Are you looking for role play?”

I felt like I knew what fate wanted from me.

To subdue the 72 demon kings according to the legend of Solomon on Earth.

“There is no reason for me to obey obediently. What would happen to this fate if I was thrown into another universe while I was suppressing it?”

If the opportunity arises, it would not be a bad idea to measure the limits, nature, and capabilities of this destiny.

“For now, I will follow the lead of this fate…”

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to compete with the demon lords.

I resumed my movement and headed to Khorne, the core city of the Magic Round Table.
